Mac OS "permission denied: /opt/homebrew/bin" error -- PLEASE HELP

[Ken Jacob]

NOTE: This behavior is new. Homebrew, LAStools, Wine have all been working well for about three months and up until about a week ago. Apple has pushed several OS updates this past week.

Environment
2021 16" Macbook running Sequoia 15.5.

Error message in Terminal
I'm getting a "permission denied: /opt/homebrew/bin" error when running command that has always worked before.

Here is the command line in Terminal:

/opt/homebrew/bin /Users/KenJacobMacbook/QGIS/LAStools/bin/lasinfo64.exe -v -i "/Users/KenJacobMacbook/QGIS/LiDAR/cathedral pines/840865_se.laz"

Error message in QGIS
If I try to run the same tool from QGIS, I get the following error message:

/bin/sh: /opt/homebrew/bin: is a directory

ANY IDEA WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE???

[LAStools - efficient tools for LiDAR processing]

Hi Ken,

this issue was reported and solved some days ago here:

    https://groups.google.com/g/lastools/c/I2WJ-G4oXFI

Short version:

Just add "/wine" in your LAStools plugin settings on QGIS to the wine path.

Please excuse the gap in the documentation, we will improve documentation for Mac usage with next version.

Cheers,

Thank you very much Jochen. 

I'm back up and running.
